Elements
Elements is the largest library in the rail — prebuilt components you drop in rather than draw.
Opening it
Section titled “Opening it”Click Elements in the tool rail. The panel opens beside the rail; clicking the button again closes it.
Unlike the seven canvas tools, the panels do respond to a click — the rail’s click problem affects only the tools above the divider. Troubleshooting has the detail.

The two worth knowing about
Section titled “The two worth knowing about”Data Elements pull real content: a Data Hub Table and a Dashboard connect a design to live data rather than a picture of it. That is the difference between a printed chart and one that is current.
Dieline + Safe under Professional Graphics is a packaging aid — it marks the cut line and the safe area, which is the thing most often got wrong on anything that gets printed and folded.
